Ezinsukwini zamuva nje, indaba yomsindo eyenziwe nguizimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansiisiphenduke insakavukela, iphakamisa imibuzo mayelana nokuthi lezi zimoto kufanele zenze imisindo ezwakalayo yini.I-US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) isanda kukhipha isitatimende mayelana nezimoto zikagesi ezihamba ngesivinini esiphansi, okuvusa ukunakwa okusabalele emphakathini.Isikhungo siyagomela ukuthi izimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansi kumele zenze umsindo owanele ngenkathi zinyakaza ukuze zixwayise abahamba ngezinyawo nabanye abasebenzisi bomgwaqo.Lesi sitatimende siye sabangela ukucabangela okujulile ngokuphepha nokugeleza kwethrafikhi yezimoto zikagesi ezihamba ngesivinini esiphansi ezindaweni zasemadolobheni.
Lapho uhamba ngesivinini esingaphansi kwamakhilomitha angu-30 ngehora (amamayela angu-19 ngehora), umsindo wenjini yezimoto zikagesi uphansi, futhi kwezinye izimo, ucishe ungabonakali.Lokhu kudala ingozi engaba khona, ikakhulukazi "kubantu abayizimpumputhe, abahamba ngezinyawo abanombono ojwayelekile, nabagibeli bamabhayisikili."Ngenxa yalokho, i-NHTSA inxusa abakhiqizi bezimoto zikagesi ukuthi bacabangele ukwamukela umsindo ohluke ngokwanele phakathi nesigaba sokuklama ukuze baqinisekise ukuqapha okusebenzayo kwabahamba ngezinyawo abazungezile lapho beshayela ngesivinini esiphansi.
Ukusebenza buthule kweizimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansiifinyelele izigigaba ezibalulekile zezemvelo, kodwa futhi ibangele uchungechunge lokukhathazeka okuhlobene nokuphepha.Abanye ochwepheshe baphikisa ngokuthi ezindaweni zasemadolobheni, ikakhulukazi emigwaqweni egcwele abantu, izimoto zikagesi ezihamba ngesivinini esiphansi azinawo umsindo owanele wokuxwayisa abahamba ngezinyawo, okwandisa ingozi yokushayisana okungalindelekile.Ngakho-ke, isincomo se-NHTSA sibonwa njengokuthuthuka okuhlosiwe okuhloswe ngayo ukuthuthukisa ukubonwa kwezimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansi phakathi nokusebenza ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukusebenza kwazo kwemvelo.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi abanye abakhiqizi bezimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansi sebeqalile ukubhekana nalolu daba ngokuhlanganisa izinhlelo zomsindo eziklanywe ngokukhethekile kumamodeli amasha.Lezi zinhlelo zihlose ukulingisa imisindo yenjini yezimoto ezijwayelekile zikaphethiloli, okwenza izimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansi zibonakale nakakhulu ngenkathi zihamba.Lesi sixazululo esisha sinikeza isendlalelo esengeziwe sokuphepha ezimotweni zikagesi kuthrafikhi yasemadolobheni.
Kodwa-ke, kukhona nabangabazayo ababuza izincomo ze-NHTSA.Abanye baphikisa ngokuthi isimo sokuthula sezimoto zikagesi, ikakhulukazi ezihamba ngesivinini esiphansi, esinye sezici ezikhangayo kubathengi, futhi umsindo wethula ngokuzenzisa ungase ululaze lesi sici.Ngakho-ke, ukulingana phakathi kokuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwabahamba ngezinyawo nokugcina izici zemvelo zezimoto zikagesi kuseyinselele ephuthumayo.
Sengiphetha, indaba yomsindo ovelaizimoto zikagesi ezinesivinini esiphansiithole ukunakwa komphakathi.Njengoba izimoto zikagesi ziqhubeka nokuthandwa, ukuthola isisombululo esiqinisekisa ukuphepha kwabahamba ngezinyawo ngenkathi kugcinwa izici zabo zemvelo kuyoba inselele eyabelwe abakhiqizi kanye nama-ejensi alawulayo kahulumeni.Mhlawumbe ikusasa lizofakaza ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe obusha ukuze kutholwe isixazululo esikahle esivikela abahamba ngezinyawo ngaphandle kokuphazamisa isimo esithulile sezimoto zikagesi.
